Light Curtains Maintain Worker Safety

MultiCam offers a range of safety control options for its router, laser, plasma, knife, waterjet and digital finishing machines, including light curtains, safety mats and laser safety eyewear.

The company’s light curtains are photoelectric transmitters that cast infrared laser beams to a receiver unit around a MultiCam machine. The curtains stop the machine’s cutting sequence if an object or person crosses the beams. At startup, the machine automatically checks for safety faults and will issue either a safe status or a warning.

MultiCam also offers safety mats, which are fitted around a machine system to provide a safe area for operators to enter when they need to stop the motion and close the mechanical shutter. Special eyewear for laser operation is also available.
